Opa! Get ready for the cultural event of the year as the 21st Annual St. Augustine Greek Festival and Arts & Crafts Fair transforms Francis Field downtown St. Augustine into a virtual Greek village October 12-14, 2018. Enjoy delicious Greek food and pastries, traditionally-costumed Greek folk dancers, FREE Greek dance lessons, FREE cooking presentations, and NEW this year...live Greek music by Ellada all weekend long! Not to mention we will have the Kid’s Olympian Village (Kids area) with rides, games, and more!

Greek Entertainment
Live Greek music by Ellada will be performed all weekend in the main tent, and the Nisiotes and Asteria Greek dancers will demonstrate the rich culture of Greek dance. Visitors can learn the steps and participate. This family-friendly event includes an outdoor marketplace and a Kids Center offering games, rides and activities. Vendor booths will be set up offering jewelry, arts and crafts and more. In addition, a selection of reading material on the Greek Orthodox faith, icons and other unique items will be available for purchase.

Greek Food and Drink
The Greek Festival offers an amazing array of Greek foods, pastries and beverages, including moussaka, dolmades, souvlaki, spanakopita and pastitsio. Many of the dishes are Legacy recipes provided by parishioners of Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Church. Families looking for an alternative food option for their children will find gyros, hot dogs, and snacks on the kids menu. Visit the village Kafenio where visitors can relax and sip a Greek coffee while trying out some favorite Greek pastries from the bakery. In the Taverna, Greek wine, cold beer and Greek lemonade will be available. Other not-to-be missed treats are saganaki (flaming cheese) and a variety of Greek desserts that include baklava and other delicious pastries.  In appreciation of our attendees, we will be offering the following specials this year:
